Among the less difficult are Little, Middle and Big -- where the user learns size relationships by helping three different size characters find the right size shoes; Build-a-Bug -- where kids learn to associate numbers and quantities by customizing a bug with various quantities of eyes, antennae, legs and spots; and Bing and Boing -- where the user is auditorially and visually exposed to patterns by creating them out of stamps that produce funny sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomewhat more difficult are the Number Machine -- where users learn about number order and associating numbers with quantities; the Cookie Factory -- where kids get to put a specified number of jelly beans on a cookie; the Mouse House -- where users learn the names of geometric shapes and how to build more complex objects by combining them; and a What's My Number activity where kids see and hear a number or number sentence (e.g. 3 + 1), then have to put an equal number of objects on a stage. \"I'm amazed!\" said one parent, \"at the amount of truly educational material in a program for kids so young.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of the activities in this program offers two distinct modes for learning: the 'click and explore' format common to many programs, and a 'question and answer' option. For example, most of our kid reviewers liked the Mouse House activity, both when allowed to create freeform drawings using geometric shapes, and when prompted to match the components of a blueprint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother impressive aspect of Millie, is how the program responds to incorrect answers. When a child clicks on the wrong object in Mouse House, the program makes suggestions like \"that's too big.\" After three errors on the same question, the number of choices is reduced, simplifying the choice for the child. \"Millie is great for home use,\" said our teacher reviewer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DOS\/Windows (via DOSBox)\/Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edmark","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":48995047473430,"sku":"13408","price":21.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20071126212213486.jpg?v=1781478307","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/millies-math-house","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
